Re: Double Lip Embouchure - Upper Lip Pain

@Brenda: Interesting. I'll try that tonight.

I've noticed that I haven't been using the "firm" part of the upper lip, and as soon as I put it in, I have to "cave in" a little more of the upper lip than I expect. I tried playing this way - it sounds nicer (although it's hard to keep the chin down at the same time) than my previous embouchure, although there seems to be an air leak that I can't solve yet. Thank you for all of your suggestions - I think I'll keep updating on the situation here.
